How Many Water Balloons Does It Take To Stop A Bullet? I’m Surprised!

April 4, 2015

A guy picks up some locals and ropes them into his experiment. His experiment is to see how many water balloons it takes to stop a speeding bullet. For this, he uses a .44 magnum gun, which is capable of shooting a bullet well over 1000mph and it is one of the most powerful guns in the world. He asks the locals how many balloons they think it will take to stop the bullet and they all guessed very different amounts.

The real answer however will blow your mind. This experiment is all down to science and physics, but it is surprising none the less. Watch this video and see for yourself. How many balloons do you think the bullet will pop before it is stopped? This video also has a slow motion camera view, so you can see for yourself the theory behind this phenomenal video.
